Tagwi Secondary School Grade 11 University Preparation Chemistry - SCH 3UE Teacher: Dr. R. Hammond e-mail: robert.hammond@ucdsb.on.ca Course Level: University Preparation Grade: 11 Credit Value: 1 Room: 223 Text: Chemistry 11 (Nelson) Prerequisite: SNC 2D
Course Description This course enables students to deepen their understanding of chemistry through the study of the properties of chemicals and chemical bonds; chemical reactions and quantitative relationships in those reactions; solutions and solubility; and atmospheric chemistry and the behaviour of gases. Students will further develop their analytical skills and investigate the qualitative and quantitative properties of matter, as well as the impact of some common chemical reactions on society and the environment. Evaluation The course will be divided into a 70 % term mark and a 30 % summative assessment. The term mark will be evaluated for each of the four areas for achievement (knowledge/understanding, thinking, communication, application) which will be weighted equally. Knowledge and Understanding: Subject-specific content acquired in each course (knowledge), and the comprehension of its meaning and significance (understanding). Thinking and Investigation: The use of critical and creative thinking skills and inquiry, research, and problem-solving skills and/or processes. Communication: The conveying of meaning through various forms. Application: The use of knowledge and skills to make connections within and between various contexts. The assessment and evaluation policy at Tagwi is aligned with the Upper Canada District School Board’s “Student Assessment and Evaluation Framework: 2007.” Learning Skills Excellent attendance & punctuality, having an organized & complete notebook, completing homework, and participating, cooperating and demonstrating teamwork are other important keys to success that will be assessed and recorded on your reports home using the scale of excellent, good, satisfactory or needs improvement.
Course Content This course is composed of six content areas (strands):
STRAND
OVERALL EXPECTATIONS
Scientific Investigation Skills and Career Exploration
Ø demonstrate scientific investigation skills (related to both inquiry and research) in the four areas of skills (initiating and planning, performing and recording, analysing and interpreting, and communicating); Ø identify and describe careers related to the fields of science under study, and describe the contributions of scientists, including Canadians, to those fields.
Matter, Chemical Trends, and Chemical Bonding
Ø analyse the properties of commonly used chemical substances and their effects on human health and the environment, and propose ways to lessen their impact; Ø investigate physical and chemical properties of elements and compounds, and use various methods to visually represent them; Ø demonstrate an understanding of periodic trends in the periodic table and how elements combine to form chemical bonds.
Chemical Reactions
Ø analyse chemical reactions used in a variety of applications, and assess their impact on society and the environment; Ø investigate different types of chemical reactions; Ø demonstrate an understanding of the different types of chemical reactions.
Quantities in Chemical Reactions
Ø analyse processes in the home, the workplace, and the environmental sector that use chemical quantities and calculations, and assess the importance of quantitative accuracy in industrial chemical processes; Ø investigate quantitative relationships in chemical reactions, and solve related problems; Ø demonstrate an understanding of the mole concept and its significance to the quantitative analysis of chemical reactions.
Solutions and Solubility
Ø analyse the origins and effects of water pollution, and a variety of economic, social, and environmental issues related to drinking water; Ø investigate qualitative and quantitative properties of solutions, and solve related problems; Ø demonstrate an understanding of qualitative and quantitative properties of solutions.
Gases and Atmospheric Chemistry
Ø analyse the cumulative effects of human activities and technologies on air quality, and describe some Canadian initiatives to reduce air pollution, including ways to reduce their own carbon footprint; Ø investigate gas laws that explain the behaviour of gases, and solve related problems; Ø demonstrate an understanding of the laws that explain the behaviour of gases.
Students must demonstrate a minimum Level 1 achievement of all of the Overall Expectations in order to receive a credit in this course. Course Materials You will need to bring the following items to every class: Ø pens and pencils, eraser, ruler Ø a binder with plenty of paper (lined and a few sheets of graph paper) Ø textbook Ø calculator
